The 2024 Thunder Ridge Titans enter year following a 13-10 campaign last season and have started on a good note as they opened their season with an 8-1 win over Minico. '25 Kaden Westergard led the way offensively in that game as he went 2-for-4 with a double, 2 RBI, a run scored and a walk. The strong performance on the mound came via '26 Liam Lynch (1), '24 Tason Stauffer (3) and '24 Hudson Harker as the three combined to allow just one run in the victory. The Titans were strong in conference play last season with an 8-4 record and with a nice balance of senior talent, as well contributions from their 2025 and 2026 class, have them in the hunt for another strong season in the 4A High Country Conference. Below, we provide a breakdown of the team's roster with top impact/returning players, sleepers, top newcomers and future noteworthy underclassmen.
